The opaque handles were because every other handle in the API was
opaque, why should screens be different? Who knows what kind of screen
model people building things like SLI are going to come up.

Dynamic is because of monitor hotplug. We don't separate the concept
of screen and monitor so a hotplug makes the screen disappear.

Neither of these have anything to do with implementing 1:1
display:screen in a driver. The monitor can still get hotplugged in
that case too.
